Life and Death of Young Dense Star Clusters near the Galactic Center
We discuss the structural change and degree of mass segregation of young dense star clusters within about 100pc of the

Life as Complex Systems --- Viewpoint from Intra-Inter Dynamics
Basic problems in complex systems are surveyed in connection with Life. As a key issue for complex systems, complementarity between

A Black Hole Life Preserver
Since no one lives forever, all a life preserver can really do is prolong life for longer than would have

Available Energy for Life on a Planet, with or without Stellar Radiation
The quest for life in the Universe is often affected by the free use of extrapolations of our phenomenological geocentric

Comment on "Does the rapid appearence of life on Earth suggest that life is common in the Universe"
In a recent paper [1] Lineweaver and Davis performed a statistical analysis to claim that the rapidity of biogenesis on

Cosmic Thermobiology: Thermal Constraints on the Origin and Evolution of Life in the Universe
We review the thermal history of the Universe. We obtain a new estimate for the thermal history of the Earth

Excitonic and Quasiparticle Life Time Effects on Silicon Electron Energy Loss Spectrum from First Principles
The quasiparticle decays due to electron-electron interaction in silicon are studied by means of first-principles all-electron GW approximation. The spectral
